Welcome back to my linkyย #KCACOLS. I hope you all had a fantastic week! We didย GREATย withย 135 link ups!ย THANK YOUย ALLย so much for being part of theย linky! I really appreciate your support. For new peopleย joining us this week, I really hope you like #KCACOLS and that you come back again next time! You can also find out more about this linky inย the #KCACOLS linky page!ย ๐
I’m still dreaming about my trip to France. I had such an amazing time that I really would like to go back, LOL! I’m puttingย all my photos and information together to prepareย my posts as I will have to share it in more than one post as I have too many photos, it is crazy! This week I have been trying to catch up as much as possible. Things are getting more organised but I still can’t say that I’m on top of everything. How frustrating is that? Also today I’m feeling exhausted and thinkย I’m gettingย a cold. How annoying is that? Anyway, let’s hope it passes soon. In the meantime, I will leave you with a couple of photos from my trip to France that I sharedย onย Instagramย so we can all dream together, LOL!
INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY
Thank you so much for all the people that joined us last week forย ourย #UnPocoDeTodoUK link up. We had a great week with lots of you joining! Thank you. Mariaย will host the linky on Monday 10th October at 9pm until midnight on Friday 14th. The theme for next week is “KIDS” so I hope lots of you canย join us for it!
Thank you so much too forย using the #KCACOLS hashtag onย Instagram for all your photos. We have 1,769 photos there now which are fantastic! I really enjoy going through your photos! I would love it if more of you could also use the hashtag for your photos and of course it wouldย be even better if we all also spread some love there! ๐
NOW BACK TO THE LINKY:
PLEASE READ:
1.ย Not everyone isย following the main rule of commenting on the post prior to theirs. I know I have been very relaxed lately about it which provesย that without me being behind people it becomes a problem. I really don’t want to come back to being superย strict as I used to be at the start but I must admit that this was the only reason why this linky becameย popular. My problem is that I also have a life and I can’t be overseeing every single post like this all the time.
2.I would also like to say that I find it extremely disrespectful when the host posts and especially the guest co-hosts posts are notย commented on. I have 3 different people helping me every week and the least they shouldย receive in exchange for all their hard work isย to receive a comment. I know most of you do it but there are still some people that don’t. I don’t think that it’sย good linky etiquette. If you don’t comment on those posts and you happen to be within the posts that will need more commenting, fromย now on I will not ask the rest of the people who joined this linky to spread more love to your post(s) as I don’t think that is fair.ย
3.Commenting is very important to this linky so I really need that you actively approve comments onย the post that you have linked up, by the end of Friday. Itย is alsoย important that you check your comment spam folder in case comments are accidentally placed their, otherwise the reflection of the counting will be incorrect and it is not fair to the people that have taken the time to comment.ย
So, to conclude:
IF YOU JOIN THIS LINKY PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES
This last link up has been veryย INTERESTING, because despite having people not doing their commenting we have had in total much more comments overall than the last link up where people had about 2 weeks to comment, so I will say that it is a very good result anyway. I can see from my Inlinkz report that individual posts are getting a lot of clicks. This does not mean that you will get a comment all the time but your views should improve when linking up.
I’m not sure if we have reached the 4 comments per post as there are some peopleย that still need to approve their comments. This is very frustrating hence my comment above. Unfortunately this week I cannot say that all the posts that linked up last week had 4 comments or more for this annoying reason! PLEASE PLEASE, again approve your comments and check your spam folders. Remember that from now on people will have until Friday night to comment unless I say otherwise like last week whenย I was late with my email.ย
Please do not forget to comment on the post before yours. If you have any problems commenting on the post before yours please just send me a message and I will do my best to help. AGAIN, please do not link up and run. Finally, do not forget to add the badge.ย
THANK YOUย again to all of you that have already joined the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group.ย We have 130 membersย nowย and it is always fantastic to chat with all of you. You can join us here. Also if you do join, please send me a direct message with the name of your blog so then I know who you are without having toย figure out your blog name ๐
NOTE:ย If you receive a lot of comments, try to reciprocate to the ones that have taken the time to comment on your post. It is all about being generous with each other and spreading lots of love.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW LINKERS: PLEASEย start with commentingย onย the post linked up before yours first and then go around commenting as much as you would like. Also, use the hashtagย #KCACOLSย when commenting (this is indeed very important so I can then see how many comments you are doing and then be able to featureย you in my linky post which is always great for youย as you get a backlink whichย helps improve your DA).
Thank you so much for all your comments onย the host posts and the linky post. As always, I have read and liked all your comments! We would do our best for you toย receive a comment from someone on behalfย of the linky (either the co-hosts or me).

For this week’s linky I am linking upย Night At The Mad Blog Awardsย and Num Noms #WackyBakers Challengeย soย I hope you like them! ๐
Please do not forget to follow and check out the #KCACOLS Pinterest Board. Weย have pinned all your posts from last week’sย linkyย so please go and have a look. There are some great posts that deserve a read!
Now let’s carry on with the linky:
RULES:
Each week Iย will choose 6 people who have commented A LOTย within the linky. Three will be featuredย and another three will be mentionedย on my Saturday linky post. This means that 6 people will get a backlink on my new linky post each Saturday!
1. Be sure toย grab theย #KCACOLS badgeย which can be found below or on my sidebar. Simply copy the code from the box below the badge and add it to the text/html at the bottom of your post or place it on your blog sidebar.
2.ย You can link up to 2 posts per week.
3. You can share anything that you would like. It is open to absolutely any subject and also you can link up posts that are old or new.ย You are allowed to link up another linky ONLY if it is a promotional post about the linky and you can do this only once and I expect you to put my badge or a link to my linky and of course to follow the rules regarding commenting.ย
4. Comment on one of the hosts’ posts (choose one that you would like to comment on as I will be linking up 2 posts every week if possible). Then comment the guest co-hosts and the monthly co-host.ย Then comment onย the postย which is linked up immediately before yours and finally any other post that you would like to comment on. That way everybody receivesย at least twoย comments (one from the host/guest co-hosts and one from others).
5. This linky will be open every Saturday from 10 pm and will remain open until Wednesday at 11.59 pm.
6. If you would like usย to tweet your post that is absolutely fine, just tweet your link to me @WithFranca, Maria @suburb4nmum,ย Emmaย @meandbmaketea and Kat @KatCandyflossย and weย will retweet it. Please remember to use the hashtag #KCACOLS.
7. Finally, if you could please follow A Moment With Franca (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterestย ,ย Bloglovin,ย Google+ย andย YouTube)ย that would be fantastic!! ๐
I look forward to reading and commenting your posts!! ๐
